[SOLVED] rclone fuse

[Kodey]

Hi,

I'm trying to add Onedrive and google drive to a media server container.
The package I'm using is rclone which went pretty smoothly until I tried to mount the cloudshare.

rclone mount --vfs-cache-mode full onedrive:Documents /srv/storage/onedrive -v --debug-fuse --poll-interval=0
2021/10/25 15:31:06 INFO  : vfs cache: cleaned: objects 0 (was 0) in use 0, to upload 0, uploading 0, total size 0 (was 0)
2021/10/25 15:31:06 mount helper error: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
2021/10/25 15:31:06 Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: fusermount: exit status 1

I installed fuse in the container:

# apt-get install fuse3 libfuse2
...
# modprobe fuse
# lsmod | grep fuse
# ls -al /dev/fuse
ls: cannot access '/dev/fuse': No such file or directory

But it has to be installed in the host. So...

root@pmhost:/etc# modprobe fuse
root@pmhost:/etc# lsmod | grep fuse
root@pmhost:/etc# insmod fuse
insmod: ERROR: could not load module fuse: No such file or directory

This could be a kernel issue

root@pmhost:/etc# dpkg-query -W '*fuse'
ceph-fuse       14.2.21-1
fuse    2.9.9-5
zfs-fuse
root@pmhost:/etc# dpkg-query -W 'linux-image-*'
linux-image-2.6
root@pmhost:/etc# dpkg-query -W '*pve'
lxc-pve 4.0.9-4
novnc-pve       1.2.0-3
pve-kernel-5.11.22-4-pve        5.11.22-9
pve-kernel-5.11.22-5-pve        5.11.22-10
pve-kernel-5.4.140-1-pve        5.4.140-1

I wonder why linux-image is 2.6 while kernel is 5.x and what could be stopping fuse from loading.
Maybe it has something to do with the pve 6.4 to 7 upgrade.
How can I analyse this further?

you can try to enable 'fuse' for the container under options->features

I eventually figured out that this was entirely the wrong approach for restricted containers.
Instead, I used rclone inside the host and mounted that on the container.
It my have been better to use a dedicated vm for rclone to avoid running anything on the host.
